Alright, girl, it’s time to talk about the “M” word—money. Yep, we’re going there. Whether you’re cringing at your bank balance or feeling overwhelmed by bills, one thing is for sure: getting your finances in order isn’t just about numbers—it’s about mindset. The way you think about money can totally change how you use it and how confident you feel about making decisions.
Today, I’m breaking it down into three simple mindset shifts that will help you go from feeling frazzled to financially fierce. Ready to flip the script on your finances? Let’s do this!
Mindset #1: From “Money Is Stressful” to “Money Is a Tool”
If you automatically tense up when you hear the word “money,” it’s time to reframe that thinking! Money isn’t something to fear or dread—it’s just a tool. It’s neutral. It’s not out to get you, and it doesn’t have power over you. When you start seeing money as a tool—something you can use to support your dreams and goals—you take back control.
Start by shifting your language: Instead of saying, “I never have enough money,” try, “How can I use the money I have to get closer to my goals?” See how empowering that feels?
Mindset #2: From “I’m Not Good With Money” to “I Can Learn and Grow”
How often do you catch yourself saying, “I’m just not good with money”? (Guilty!) But here’s the thing—no one is born knowing how to budget or save. It’s a skill, and you’re totally capable of learning it. If you keep telling yourself you’re bad with money, you’ll keep feeling stuck.
Flip that script by saying, “I’m learning more about money every day!” Start small—read a book, watch a video, or follow a money guru. The more you learn, the more confident you’ll feel, and before long, you’ll be owning your financial decisions.
Mindset #3: From “I Can’t Afford It” to “How Can I Make It Happen?”
It’s so easy to default to “I can’t afford it” mode—whether it’s a vacation, an investment, or even just a fun night out. But that mindset keeps you stuck in a cycle of lack. Instead, ask yourself, “How can I create an opportunity to afford this?” It opens up your mind to possibilities and solutions.
When you shift from a “no” mindset to a “how” mindset, you put yourself in the driver’s seat. Maybe you pick up a side hustle, sell some clutter, or get creative with your budget. Suddenly, what felt impossible feels doable.
Trust the Process, and Trust the Promise
These three mindset shifts are simple, but powerful. Start viewing money as a tool, believe that you can get better at managing it, and keep an open mind about how to create opportunities. Trust me, girl—your finances will thank you.
